Our life is not in vain

Share with you a song praising God from their own heart. Have a nice day! It's God's love that has been leading me until today.

Woo oh … Our life is not in vain.

Woo oh … Our life is not in vain.

I

Today we meet with God,

experience His work.

We've known God in flesh,

practical and real.

We've seen His work,

awesome and wondrous.

Each day of our life is not in vain.

How precious to gain

the truth and life!

Grasping and embracing

this mystery.

My feet are on

the brightest path to life.

No longer searching, all is clear to us.

God, we'll love You always

without regret.

We've found the truth,

eternal life we'll gain.

Our life is not in vain, it's not in vain.

Woo oh … Our life is not in vain.

Woo oh … Our life is not in vain.

Who Was It That Rescued Her Marriage?

Feeling after reading:

 　I thought of God's words, "Marriage is a key event in any person’s life; it is the time when one starts truly to assume various kinds of responsibilities, begins gradually to fulfill various kinds of missions. People harbor many illusions about marriage before they experience it themselves, and all these illusions are beautiful. Women imagine that their other halves will be Prince Charming, and men imagine that they will marry Snow White. These fantasies go to show that every person has certain requirements for marriage, their own set of demands and standards. Though in this evil age people are constantly bombarded with distorted messages about marriage, which create even more additional requirements and give people all sorts of baggage and strange attitudes, any person who has experienced marriage knows that no matter how one understands it, no matter what one’s attitude toward it is, marriage is not a matter of individual choice."

🙏📖💖 Yang Zi, China 🙏📖💖

　She had just turned twenty, she had a graceful figure and appeared as pretty as a flower, and there were many suitors pursuing her. But she didn’t pay this any mind until one day when her friend invited her to come out and she by chance met Lin. Lin was almost 6 feet tall, he was tall and handsome, with a dignified bearing. He spoke with humor and with wit, and was able to attract her in an instant. And Lin too was quite interested in her. The two of them started seeing each other very soon, and after a few months they got married. Before long they had a child of their own, and this made her feel very blessed. But good things don’t last forever. Just when she was starting to enjoy everything and long for a beautiful future, she discovered that Lin was not engaging in honest work every day. All day long he was idling about, and he would even go out often and get in fights and gamble. When he returned home, he would pick out faults with her no matter if there was something going on or not. He simply did not care for her or their child. She did not understand why Lin was acting this way. Many times with eyes full of tears she would urge Lin to walk the correct path, but not only did Lin not listen, he would even lash out at her, and one time he even went so far as to nearly choke her to death. She had lost all hope in Lin. Before long, Lin got sentenced to prison for breaking the law, and she had to support herself and their one-and-a-half-year-old child on her own. Her life was full of hardships and dashed hopes. It wasn’t until 2003, when Lin completed his prison sentence and was released, that she was finished with this painful marriage.

God’s Story: Creation

Personal thoughts:

When counting God's love, I feel even warmer! Though we haven’t seen His true face, but He accompanies us all way.

　　This video is so creative and easy to understand: The use of hand drawing quickly shows us God’s creation of the heavens and earth and all things. We can see the supreme authority of God’s word from the fact that He used words to create all things. God speaks, and it will be accomplished; He commands, and it will stand fast. Everything is accomplished because of His words. There are unknown mysteries hidden behind the sentence that is repeatedly emphasized: “and God saw that it was good” (Genesis 1:21).

God Hopes That Mankind Can Continue to Live

Feeling after watching:   🌱🌳 🌈🐑🐐🐑

With God's word as our life, living in the light. God doesn't look at how old we are, how many people there are, our spirit can be released when we praise with the true heart.

I

When humanity was filled with filth,

disobeyed to an extent,

God had to destroy them

due to His principles and essence.

God despised man,

for they opposed Him.

But when He destroyed them,

His heart was still unchanged,

His mercy still remained.

II

God pitied mankind,

wanting to redeem in various ways.

But refusing God's salvation,

man continued to disobey.

No matter

how God called and warned,

how He supplied and helped,

man did not understand,

man did not appreciate.

God’s Work, God’s Disposition, and God Himself III (Part Eight)

13. Jesus Eats Bread and Explains the Scriptures After His Resurrection

(Luke 24:30–32) And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

14. The Disciples Give Jesus Broiled Fish to Eat

(Luke 24:36–43) And as they thus spoke, Jesus himself stood in the middle of them, and said to them, Peace be to you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said to them, Why are you troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said to them, Have you here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them.

A Hymn of God's Word "All Creation of God Must Come Under His Dominion"

Impression after watching:

After listening to this hymn, I know that there is The One Who Holds Sovereignty Over Everything in the universe. He commands the four seasons and manages the growth of all things. From it, I see God's authority and power. God’s love for man is completely shown to us. God’s grace and blessing are bestowed upon each of us selflessly. everything was so nice! Thank God for preparing such a nice environment for us!

I

God created all things, and so He makes all creation come under His rule, and submit to His dominion. He commands all things, controlling them in His hands. Living things, mountains, rivers and man must all come under His rule. Things in the skies and on the earth must all come under His dominion. All must submit, without any choice. This is God's decree and His authority.

The Church of Almighty God | The Road to Purification

Christopher, Philippines

　　My name is Christopher and I am a pastor from a family church in the Philippines. In 1987, I was baptized and returned to the Lord Jesus. By the Lord’s grace, in 1996 I became a pastor of the local church. At that time, apart from preaching in many places around the Philippines, I also preached in places like Hong Kong and Malaysia. Because of the work and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I felt that I had inexhaustible energy in my work for the Lord and an unceasing flow of words in my sermons. I would often go to support brothers and sisters when they were negative and weak. Sometimes members of their family who did not believe in the Lord were unfriendly toward me, yet I could be tolerant and patient and not lose faith in the Lord and I believed that the Lord could change them. So I felt like I had changed a great deal since believing in the Lord. However, since 2011, I have not felt the work of the Holy Spirit as strongly as before. Slowly, I have had no new enlightenment for my sermons and have not had the strength to break free from living in sin. I could not help getting angry at my wife and daughter and teaching them a lesson through my temper when I saw that they were not doing as I desired. I knew that this was not in keeping with the will of the Lord, but often I could not help myself. I felt particularly distressed about this. In order to free myself from a life of sin and confession, I put more effort into reading the Bible, fasting and praying and found spiritual pastors everywhere to seek and explore this together. But all of my efforts were useless and made no difference to me living in sin and to the darkness in my soul.

　　Then one evening in spring 2016, my wife asked me, “Christopher, I’ve noticed you’ve been very troubled recently. What is on your mind?” After hearing my wife ask this, I told her what was troubling me, “I’ve been wondering these last few years why I cannot break free from living in sin despite being a pastor and having believed in the Lord for many years. I cannot touch the Lord now. It is as if the Lord has forsaken me. Although I preach everywhere, as soon as I have free time, especially in the dead of night, I always feel a kind of emptiness and anxiety and this feeling just gets stronger and stronger. I think about how I have believed in the Lord for many years and how I have read the Bible a great deal and often resolved to bear the cross and conquer myself, but yet I am always bound by sins and am capable of telling lies and not abiding by ‘And in their mouth was found no guile’ (Revelation 14:5) in order to protect my own interests and face. When facing tribulations and refinement, although I know I have the Lord’s consent, I still cannot stop myself from complaining to the Lord and misunderstanding Him and I am completely unable to willingly deny myself. I am afraid that when the Lord comes, I will not be able to enter the kingdom of heaven because of living in sin like this!”

Christian English Movie "Salvation" | What Is Being Saved? What Is True Salvation?

What I gain from this movie:

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” (Mark 16:16) . “For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins” (Mat 26:28). I used to understand the meaning of these two verses to be that the Lord Jesus has forgiven all the sins of man and because people believe Lord Jesus, people can be saved. After watching this movie, I realize I tried to understand the Bible with it’s literally meaning. Really we need to read God's words, ponder and seek the truth from God so that we can get more truth from God. Thank God for His enlightenment. I realized that the real salvation of mankind is not only the forgiveness of sin, but also to rid man of the sinful nature and become more like God, then we will no longer sin. Only after that can we receive God’s praise and can enter into Kingdom of Heaven.

What is salvation? Those who believe in the Lord Jesus think that if they sincerely pray to the Lord, confess their sins, and repent, their sins will be forgiven, and they will be granted salvation, and when the Lord comes, they will be directly raised into the kingdom of heaven. But is salvation really that simple?
